The green lung of the city: a winding coast road, tropical forest, and a view over Da Nang from above.

Son Tra Peninsula

The Son Tra peninsula in Da Nang is a nature reserve between the sea and the city, often called the green lung of Da Nang. It has old forest, a coast road with views, and Linh Ung pagoda.

On the peninsula

The Hoang Sa road climbs through bends above the sea, with stops over the port and the beaches. The red-shanked douc lives here; an early start gives you a better chance of seeing one. Linh Ung and the 67 m Quan Am statue are the usual stop.

Sea view from the Son Tra peninsula

By electric motorcycle

The road climbs, so pick a healthy battery and keep a steady speed. Rent at 365Go and prefer Feliz S or Klara S. Son Tra plus My Khe is about 30–40 km, still one charge if you start full. See the price list and the bike list.

Best time

Early morning is cooler, with a better chance of seeing doucs and light mist for photos. Late afternoon is good for the sunset. Skip the hard midday sun if you are short on sunscreen.

Safety

  • Wear the helmet properly. 365Go includes one with the bike.
  • Keep right, slow down on the bends, and test the brakes before you leave.
  • A thin jacket helps. The hill is cooler than the beach.
  • Add other places if you are building a one-day plan.

FAQ

How long should you allow? At least half a day: two or three hours for the climb, the pagoda, and a view stop.

Can an electric motorcycle climb Son Tra? Yes. 365Go bikes handle this gentle climb. The battery drops faster uphill, so start full.
